Article Synopsis
- Energy efficiency analysis of cropping systems reveals important insights into non-renewable energy dependence, particularly in facultative rainfed wheat varieties in Central Europe.
- The study found that winter wheat consistently outperformed spring wheat in energy efficiency across two growing seasons, with minimal impact from nitrogen fertilization.
- Optimal nitrogen fertilization for energy efficiency was identified at 72.0 kg N/ha, with zero nitrogen showing the best performance metrics for energy use efficiency and productivity.
The status of macronutrients phosphorus (P), potassium (K), sulphur (S), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) was assessed 15 years after the establishment of a long-term crop rotation and soil tillage trial with mouldboard ploughing (MP), no-till (NT), deep conservation tillage (CTd) and shallow conservation tillage (CTs). The mobile proportions of macronutrients in an Austrian Chernozem soil were determined to a depth of 50 cm with the single reagent extractant acetic acid (AA) and Mehlich 3 (M3), which uses several reagents as extractants. AA revealed less P and K, but more Ca and Mg compared to M3.
